After living in Paris for five years, "Erin Fetherston moved to New York in 2007 and immediately launched the search for a new space that possessed the same old-world charm as her apartment in France. After looking for more than a year ("It was so much harder than I had expected," she says), she finally found the perfect spot: a recently converted loft in Tribeca with high ceilings and massive windows that overlook the Hudson River. She took to the task of decorating immediately - a process greatly slowed by the fact that is took several months for her beloved antique and vintage furniture to make the slow boat trip across the ocean.
..."I see it as a reflection of my creative universe," she says. "It's romantic and chic, but clean and modern."
I love the thought of living in a space that is "a reflection of my creative universe." And, I'd like to request a closet like hers. If possible, filled with her clothing because it looks amazing and I want to run my fingers over the piles of silk and ribbons and finery.
In other news, our hunt for a new home has begun. We have loads of time, but I can't help getting excited and it's a task not to get attached to places just from seeing the outside. Who knows what's inside and what adventures we'll have as we create our own creative universe within?
One last quote from the designer: "I like everything to be a little magical, a little whimsical."
(And so do I.)
